Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier's "Sentimental Value" won Best International Feature Oscar, marking a significant shift from the previous Oscar-shortlisted film "The Worst Person in the World" to "The Best International Film Oscar" for the third consecutive year. The award was given to Trier’s Grand Prix winner, Sentimental Value. This victory was seen as a significant step forward in Norwegian cinema, with Trier praising American writer James Baldwin for his work. The International Oscar race was also notable, with four of the five nominees landing nominations in other categories.
